Systems Thinking and Capacity for Engineering Systems Thinking
Systems-thinking, a holistic approach that puts the study of wholes before that of parts, is an effective means of dealing with real-world situations. Emphasizing the interrelationships between the system's components rather than the components themselves, systems thinking allows us to increase our personal and professional effectiveness, and transform our organizations. Specifically, systems thinkers are able to conceptually analyze the system without knowing all the details, recognizing the forest through the trees. They can see beyond the surface to the deeper patterns that are really responsible for creating behavior.

The current study deals with the development of systems thinking among students and systems engineers. The goals of the study are to identify the factors that influence the development of systems thinking and to find ways to encourage this development. I used a variety of research tools: A questionnaire for assessing the capacity for systems thinking, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type test and supervisor evaluations.
